    It was spacious, had a lovely garden. Had a good location in a quiet neoghbourhood. The kitchen was well equipped. Only issues noticed were the blown light in one room and we didn't recieve the keybox through bookabach before arriving at the property.

    We loved it. Very nice interior and garden, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen. Only drawback: the thick carpet was quite dusty and triggered a dust allergy we didn't know about until then...

    Great house, very comfortable with excellent beds made for a nice end to a long 5-week trip through the South Island. Just wish we caught some more fish :)

    Would highly recommend. Great spacious property in great condition. Lovely outdoor area to enjoy the sunshine. Walking distance to park, supermarket and local shops. Incredibly kind property manager who ensured our child had high chair, cot, linen and even Surprised her with a welcome gift. Would definitely recommend and we will likely be back to stay again. Thanks for everything!
